Ivana je sjedila u autobusu, tiho promatrajući krajolik.

Ivana sat on the bus, quietly observing the landscape.

Svuda oko nje, gorjela je jesen u Plitvičkim jezerima.

All around her, autumn was ablaze in Plitvička Jezera.

Lišće je bilo u svim nijansama crvene, žute i smeđe.

The leaves were in all shades of red, yellow, and brown.

Iako prekrasno, Ivana je bila nervozna.

Although beautiful, Ivana was nervous.

Ovo je bio njezin prvi team-building s kolegama iz tvrtke za tehnologiju, a ona se uvijek činila distanciranom na poslu.

This was her first team-building event with her colleagues from the tech company, and she always seemed distant at work.

Boris, vođa tima, bio je sve što Ivana nije – društven, energičan i uvijek spreman na šalu.

Boris, the team leader, was everything Ivana was not—sociable, energetic, and always ready with a joke.

Organizirao je ovaj izlet kako bi svi bolje upoznali jedni druge.

He organized this trip so everyone could get to know each other better.

"Svi ćemo uživati," rekao je s osmijehom.

"We will all enjoy this," he said with a smile.

Pokraj Ivane sjedila je Nikolina, njezina dobra prijateljica i kolegica.

Next to Ivana sat Nikolina, her good friend and colleague.

"Pokušaj se opustiti," šapnula je Nikolina.

"Try to relax," Nikolina whispered.

"Bit će zabavno.

"It will be fun."

"Kada su stigli u Nacionalni park, Boris je vodio grupu prema stazi.

When they arrived at the National Park, Boris led the group towards the trail.

Ivana je odlučila pridružiti se planinarenju unatoč svojim sumnjama.

Ivana decided to join the hike despite her doubts.

Polako su hodali stazama uz slapove, uživajući u svježem zraku i umirujućem šumu vode.

They walked slowly along the paths by the waterfalls, enjoying the fresh air and the soothing sound of the water.

Ipak, Ivana je često posustajala, upijajući ljepotu prirode.

However, Ivana often lagged behind, soaking in the beauty of nature.

Kada je shvatila da je ostala sama, Ivana je zastala.

When she realized she was alone, Ivana paused.

Malo ju je uhvatila panika, ali znala je da mora ostati pribrana.

She felt a bit panicked but knew she had to stay calm.

Sjetila se mape koju je Boris spomenuo i pratila znakove natrag prema glavnoj stazi.

She recalled the map that Boris mentioned and followed the signs back to the main trail.

Usput je pronašla zanimljive biljne vrste koje je fotografirala za kasniju analizu.

Along the way, she found interesting plant species to photograph for later analysis.

Njeno znanje o tehnologiji i prirodi pomoglo joj je da ostane sabrana.

Her knowledge of technology and nature helped her stay composed.

U međuvremenu, tim je shvatio da nedostaje.

Meanwhile, the team realized she was missing.

Boris je vodio potragu, dok je Nikolina bila zabrinuta.

Boris led the search, while Nikolina was worried.

Konačno, našli su Ivanu koja je smireno gledala prema horizontu.

Finally, they found Ivana, who was calmly gazing at the horizon.

"Evo vas!

"There you are!

Svi smo se zabrinuli," rekao je Boris s izrazom olakšanja.

We were all worried," Boris said with a look of relief.

Ivana se nasmiješila, osjetivši povezanost s kolegama koju nikada ranije nije osjetila.

Ivana smiled, feeling a connection with her colleagues that she had never felt before.

Dok su se vraćali prema autobusu, Ivana je osjećala ponos zbog svoje hrabrosti i samopouzdanja.

As they headed back to the bus, Ivana felt proud of her courage and confidence.

Kroz smijeh i razgovor, osjećala se kao dio tima.

Through laughter and conversation, she felt like part of the team.

"Hvala što ste me našli," rekla je, gledajući sve oko sebe.

"Thank you for finding me," she said, looking around at everyone.

S planinama u pozadini i timom uz sebe, znala je da je ovaj izlet promijenio sve.

With the mountains in the background and the team by her side, she knew this trip changed everything.

Dobili su novog prijatelja, a ona novi početak.

They had gained a new friend, and she had a new beginning.

Dok su sjedili kraj jezera, Boris je ispričao šalu koja je nasmijala cijelu grupu, a Ivana se nasmijala glasno.

As they sat by the lake, Boris told a joke that made the whole group laugh, and Ivana laughed out loud.

Sada je znala da može biti svoja i da će uvijek imati podršku kolega poput Nikoline.

Now she knew she could be herself and that she would always have the support of colleagues like Nikolina.

Jesen u Plitvicama možda prolazi, ali njezino samopouzdanje postajalo je sve jače.

Autumn in Plitvice might be passing, but her confidence was growing stronger.
